If you are one Destiny 2 Veterans, you might be a little confused by the timeline here. Typically, Bungie gives players less than two weeks – 10 days or so – to complete a new expansion campaign and prepare for raids. However, most raids involve a final boss that is only directly related to the main boss of the expansion and not the main antagonist.

From Bungie announced Final shape, the studio has made it clear that The Witness will be the final boss of the raid. This is a big step forward for Bungie and something its developers have wanted to do for a long time. in one Polygonal interview for Destiny 22022 Witch Queen expansionI spoke to Joe Blackburn, before Destiny 2 game director, on whether we'll ever see the expansion's big bad point in raids again. Blackburn expressed interest in doing that eventually, but said the studio first needs to bring more players into raids. Two and a half years later, it seems like Bungie is now confident enough to make that move – possibly due to the new feature in the game Fireteam search engine The studio recently added to the game.

With the raid being such a big gear in Final shapethe story of, Bungie has clarified that they didn't want players to have to wait nearly two weeks to finish the story and play the eighth mission of the campaign, which is only available once the player (presumably) defeats The Witness in the raid. Completion of the raid will also result in liberation Destiny 2Bungie's first episode — Bungie's replacement for seasons — will hit the game on Tuesday, June 11.
